A Kiss Yet To Be Had

Chapter Twelve

"Q?" Meara snorted. "Just get out already before I report you." She walked over to the replicator and ordered a coffee.

"You?! Report me?!" Q said quite aghast, "I'd like to see you try." Meara sighed. What had she done to deserve this? Some weird pervert going through Grey's stuff and watching them sleep. Ugh. She felt for her phaser in her back pocket and pulled it out before aiming quite accurately at the man who claimed to be "Q". 

"Get out or I'll shoot." She said. Her phaser was always on shoot to kill but she had begrudgingly adjusted it to stun.

"I don't see why I should, I can go where I like thank you, besides-" Meara shot him. That incessant noise was doing her head in. "OW!" He whined. "Even Sisko never shot me!" Meara frowned. He should be lying on the floor unconscious by now. So she shot him again. "Will you stop alrea-OW!" She had adjusted her settings again back to kill and shot him again. He was still standing there. 

"Callie, can you stop shooting for a second please," She turned her head and saw Grey looking immensely confused. She put down the phaser reluctantly and took a sip of coffee. Grey turned around looked at the man sulking in the middle of his quarters. "Who are you and why is my fiancee shooting you?" He asked inquisitively. Q scowled. 

"Why don't you ask her? She was the one shooting me." Grey sighed and turned back to Meara. 

"What? He was annoying me!" She whined. "Besides, he was the one going through your stuff like some pervert!" Grey raised an eyebrow before looking back at "the pervert".

"I'm Q." He said. Grey stood up and took the coffee off Meara. He was gonna need it far more than she was...

Grey wrapped his arms around Meara before sighing. This was going to be a long long day. And it was only twelve 0'clock. 

"Okay, so to save me from hearing you explain yourself again, you're an omnipotent, immortal, self-righteous being called a Q. You're here because you wanted the meet the human with the power to travel through different dimensions. Yes or no?" He wearily asked. Q frowned.

"No. You missed out the devilishly handsome and charming part." Grey growled. He was beyond fed up and completely understood why Meara had shot him three times. Meara must have picked up on how he felt.

"Can I shoot him again?" She asked hopefully. Grey shook his head. As much as he longed to say yes, there wasn't much point in it. "Please?" She said looking up at him with the biggest eyes. Grey laughed and pulled her in closer. 

"No baby." He said holding his ground. She looked so disappointed it almost broke his heart. But he couldn't let her go round shooting people. It generally upset them.

"I'm bored" Q announced to the room. "Who's your Captain? I'd like to go and visit him."

Grey smiled broadly and quickly gave him the directions to the bridge. Meara bit her tongue trying not to laugh.
